becoming the first in league history to win three-straight Big 12 Coach of the Year honors and Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua being named Big 12 co-Defensive Player of the Year, as announced Sunday evening by the league office. The 2021-22 Phillips 66 Big 12
Awards were chosen by the league’s head coach, who were not permitted to vote for their own players.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E101A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E101A">Joining Drew and Tchamwa Tchatchoua in picking up individual honors was freshman Jeremy Sochan, who was named the Big 12 Sixth Man Award winner. Sochan is the third Baylor player
to win the award in the last five seasons and the sixth BU player named Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year since 2009, joining LaceDarius Dunn (2009), Quincy Acy (2011), Taurean Prince (2015), Terry Maston (2018) and Devonte Bandoo (2020).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Tchamwa Tchatchoua’s selection marks a second-straight year the Bears have had a Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honoree after Davion Mitchell became the first conference Defensive Player of the Year in program history a season ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E101A">Drew has been tabbed Big 12 Coach of the Year each of the last three seasons after leading the Bears to a combined 42-8 conference record since 2020. Despite being picked to finish
third in the preseason, Baylor claimed its second-consecutive Big 12 Championship, becoming the first team other than Kansas to win consecutive Big 12 titles since Iowa State in 2000-01. Drew (2020, 2021, 2022) joins Rick Barnes (1999, 2003, 2008, 2014) and
Bill Self (2006, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2017, 2018) as the only coaches to win three or more Big 12 Coach of the Year honors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

week when the updated rankings are released Monday. Baylor has topped the 25-win mark in each of the last three seasons and seven times in the last 13 years. Prior to 2010, Baylor reached the 25-win mark just once in the program’s first 103 seasons.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
